Flash ANIMATION Challenge

[SODA]

Alot of people in the flash art thread that tanked were saying they thought it was animation. Well, thats what this one is! Also with school coming back everyone needs more time and alot of these other contests are getting stale.

Myself and SoulInferno will be judges. I will accept as many applicants as want in.

For the contest itself, no restrictions whatsoever, just make an animation that matched the action I say. For example if I said Jumping you would make an animation where the character jumps.

Judged on Style, and Sheer Awesomeness.

Signups will close on Tuesday at midnight EST. Each leg of the contest will be 72-96 hours.

Go.

Current Contestants:
Chris310
FrantiX
Killer Carebear
exetra - Winnah!
Cheesymaroon
Far
NVM
Kevosk
Captain Spasm
I_smell
SWiTCH
Jamez5000

[Chris310]

I'll join up. I don't think we really need 3-4 days for something as simple as jumping. I made a really good flash game for school in about 3 hours.

EDIT: No walking please, I hate that crap. >_>

[Soul]

I can help you judge SOAD.

[Benjaman]

I'll judge if you need a 3rd

[hardcoresk8r69]

I think we need applicants more then judges.

I'll join in on this and could anyone suggest a site where I can upload the animation besides Newgrounds?

I will choose newgrounds if I can't find one.

[Killer Carebear]

Imageshack.us Also I'm in.

[Chris310]

Could someone give me an easy topic right now just to practice? >_>

[SODA]

Ok inferno will be the other judge. Now only taking applicants.

And yes, www.imageshack.us lets you upload swf's

[hardcoresk8r69]

Thanks for the website.

And as for Chris. Just make a guy ordering a Coke at a fast food place.

[exetra]

I'll be in. I like animating for a reason.

[Relaps]

*cough NeSS 2*

[exetra]

*<_<...*

[Cheesymaroon]

If I can use Adobe Imageready instead, I'll be in.

[SODA]

If I can use Adobe Imageready instead, I'll be in.

Thats fine, as long as it is an animation.

[hzac]

I cant wait to see all the animations.

[Chris310]

I can't wait until this starts. >_>
Wednesday midnight means... tonight or tomorrow?

Here's something I found on my USB. Probably from 1-2 years ago. I used a tutorial for this (I think).

I'll join in too I suppose.

Just a lil' but of constructive criticism for you. It seems very stiff (:heya:). Like, when it reaches the top of its bounce it should be a lot softer on the rebound. It looks like it hits the floor, then goes back up abit and hits an invisible ceiling, thats slowly dropping on it. That and the excess space, are all I see wrong with it. Well done =)

I don't have flash anymore. I have ImageReady but its a pain in the arse animating in that, in comparison. So I won't be applying to this competition. It'll be nice to watch it when it gets on its way, though!

[Lamb]

If anybody needs a voice.. I'll help... In animating, no

If I didn't have so much homework/wasn't so lazy I'd probably touch it up a little bit.

[SODA]

Im gonna go ahead and start the competition at Midnight tonight, I was planning on doing it tomorrow but I have a lot going on Wednesday night.

2:30 Hours left for sign ups!

Anyone still wishing to join after signups are closed may do so but only during the first round.

[NVM]

I'm in.

Don't expect anything spectacular.

[SODA]

ALRIGHT COMPETITION A GO!

This first round will last 96 hours meaning Saturday night at 11:59 pm EST all submissions must be in.

The first task is too..................

Animate a main character punching another person.
http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/5723/punchue2.gif

Get creative, you have 96 hours because it is during the week. You can elaborate on the topic, as long as the criterion above is included it is a valid submission. GET ANIMATING!

And as I said before:


Anyone still wishing to join after signups are closed may do so but only during the first round.

[Kevosk]

I WANT IN YO.

Animation is pretty easy. You should automatically sign up I_Smell, haha.

Are any of these going to be less then 96 hours? I really don't care if you don't have anything to do on the weekends but I do and I'm not going to be able to participate if the time is shortened much.

[SODA]

All rounds will be 72 to 96 hours.

[Captain Spasm]

Howdy, can I join in?

[SODA]

Added. :blanky:

[Far]

All rounds will be 72 to 96 hours.

Alrighty, that's workable. I just wanted to make sure you weren't going to drop it down to something like 1, even 2 days for any of them.

[Captain Spasm]

Hows this?

http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/4027/littleguykj1.swf

I got bored and wasn't sure how much effort everyone else would put into theres so I just went ahead and went first anyway...

Took me... How long since my last post? :P

Well I can guarantee you if everyone else posts one, you will not make it to the next round. My example was supposed to be a joke, not a guideline.

:wail:
Gah fine. My practice flash didn't impress anyone. :blanky:
*Stalks off*


Not my fault I only started using it a couple of months ago.

[exetra]

It is your fault that you didn't put any effort in :indiff:

You had another 3 and a half days for fuck's sake, I can assure you I will use as much time as I can.

[I_Smell]

LOL people think I'm the Flash guy or something. Honestly, the best animator on Explosm's probably Tyler. I don't know if he uses Flash atall though.

After seeing Captain Spasms, I may as well surrender :indiff:
+I'm in btw.

[hardcoresk8r69]

Also is this for best skills or humor or both?

The sheer awesomeness isn't too specific.

[I_Smell]

SO FAR =O
http://img251.imageshack.us/my.php?image=punchscenevr6.swf

and no, I have'nt been working on this for like 90 minutes straight, I've had a big tea and sat about with my dad watching football for ages since that last post.
I just realised I've got College tommorrow and the day after so SHIT I BETTER FINISH THIS.

[Penis_Captivus]

Looking good smelly.

[Cheesymaroon]

http://img207.imageshack.us/img207/6613/untitled1nu8.gif

Best thing ever.

[Chris310]

Very nice so far Smell, I should start on mine.

[Cheesymaroon]

When you're watching mine say "BOOM" really loudly when the second guy gets hit.

[Chris310]

Cheesy.. uhh. I don't want to be rude but that needs a lot of work. Take your time, still a few days left.

[Far]

When you're watching mine say "BOOM" really loudly when the second guy gets hit.

You could, you know, actually add sound...

[Soul]

I was forgetting that i'm a judge for this here competition. Good thing I decided to check in.

Obviously Smelly's is awesome so far, cheesy you should slow it down a bit make it a bit longer and better. And spasm work harder you've still got a couple of day's left guys.

[Lamb]

I know I'm not in the competition but I just remembered about this thing... this is what you do when you're bored and only have paint
http://img509.imageshack.us/img509/9173/hitat5.gif

[Vortex]

So you animated that in paint? ¬_¬...

[Far]

Pictures drawn in paint then brought to something like Imageready and made into a gif, more then likely.

[Lamb]

Quite so my dear champ

[Killer Carebear]

Here's what I've had done for 3 hours. (http://img239.imageshack.us/my.php?image=punchcb5.swf) I had to go be jewish after that, and now I'm working on it again. At least I'm better than Captain Spasm :fmita:.

[exetra]

Why are people showing unfinished works? Do they count towards anything at all?

And carebear, lol gradients :D

[Killer Carebear]

Haha, yeah :-)

and I'm done.
http://img530.imageshack.us/my.php?image=punchdn8.swf

[exetra]

Blood != Fireworks :indiff:

The backwards walking motion was pretty good though.

EDIT: Aww man, smelly's is too good. I totally don't wanna have to 1v1 him animation style.

[Captain Spasm]

I'm trying again, now that I know what I'm up against. Won't beat smelly, but I'll give it more effort.

[Captain Spasm]

Here it is
Aliens don't like annoying sounds

Alien Vs annoying bleep (http://img210.imageshack.us/my.php?image=alienpunchzo1.swf)

[SODA]

Hey guys, just checking in, its looking pretty good so far, my dsl modem is fried at the moment but I should have a new one tomorrow. If not I will just have to go to my school campus to judge @_@.

Some people need to realize that they have a few days left and maybe make it not look like a gif gone fruity.

[NVM]

How many hours(days) left are there?
I haven't even started my actual one yet.

[SODA]

This first round will last 96 hours meaning Saturday night at 11:59 pm EST all submissions must be in.

[I_Smell]

I feel like the sound effects cheapened mine =/

OOOOEEOOOOH- KILLER TOFUUU. (http://www.ngup.net/view.php?file=6754_punch%20scene)


...What? :indiff:

[NVM]

OOOOEEOOOOH- KILLER TOFUUU. (http://www.ngup.net/view.php?file=6754_punch%20scene)


...What? :indiff:

Not really.
It's hard to find great fitting sound effects.


I highly doubt anyone's going to top that though.

[itastenice]

Smelly's all awesome and whatnot.

[Mr Anorexia]

I feel like the sound effects cheapened mine =/

OOOOEEOOOOH- KILLER TOFUUU. (http://www.ngup.net/view.php?file=6754_punch%20scene)

OOOOEEOOOOH- KILLER TOFUUU. (http://www.ngup.net/view.php?file=6754_punch%20scene)


...What? :indiff:

That was great!
well done, loving all the camera angles..
XD

[exetra]

Fuck you smelly. You're too good :(

The sound effects are pretty annoying though. Paticularly that thud noise that comes in a lot. If you've got any old Raven Software games you can change the file extensions of the sound archives to .zip and steal all their sounds. The Soldier of Fortune games are pretty good places to start (and they're at bargain bin prices now so they're worth buying just for the sound effects).

EDIT: I just noticed that the guy's coat waves at full speed throughout the slow-motion bit. Make it slower and yes, I'm nitpicking because I'm bitter about you being better than me :)

[Captain Spasm]

Try freesound
http://freesound.iua.upf.edu/searchText.php

Thats where I get sound effects for my projects from. It might take you a while to find what you need because the search funcion is a little off, but theres thousands on there.

[hardcoresk8r69]

I use www.findsounds.com and www.google.com

[Kevosk]

Fucking smelly and his ability to be crazy skilled :(.

Great work so far though guys (wait I lied I_Smell's is the only good one).

[hardcoresk8r69]

(wait I lied I_Smell's is the only good one).

Ouch... that hurts.

[Kevosk]

http://www.ngup.net/view.php?file=3904_punch

DONE.

Whatchoo think?

[SWiTCH]

http://www.swfupload.com/view/116885.htm

yay

[exetra]

Mine are done. I elaborated just a little bit.

Criticism Ahoy! (http://img139.imageshack.us/my.php?image=punchv2zv0.swf)

[MistyTehMoose]

Holy shit smelly, that was awesome.

[I_Smell]

I don't care enough about sound effects, I usually never use any.

Kevosk, that was pretty bad. I don't know how long you've been using Flash though, so it could be very good =O

SWiTCH's was funky fresh. Did he say "bang" or was I just hearing that?

Exetra shows how a boring movie can be made into a hillarious one with powar of music being silly as hell.

I just noticed that the guy's coat waves at full speed throughout the slow-motion bit. Make it slower and yes, I'm nitpicking because I'm bitter about you being better than me :)

I meant to do that lol

[ne3]

Awesome, SWiTCH. I like how you drew the characters, just not the choose of the sound effects, plus they do have a little delay.

[exetra]

I meant to do that lol

That's what they all say. And yeah, the music makes that animation.

[SODA]

Alright guys, I am back online at home, there are approximately 36 hours to go, if all submissions are in before then I will start the next round early.

Looking good, there are definitely some competitors here.

So far I have:

[SWiTCH]

Awesome, SWiTCH. I like how you drew the characters, just not the choose of the sound effects, plus they do have a little delay.
Thanks, but I don't hear any delay (and there definitely isn't one on the timeline). Maybe it just wasn't loaded yet?

[ne3]

Perhaps it's just me. It's still awesome though, so is your PUNX song!

[Joho The Hobo]

Cool! Lovin ISmell's and Chris's. The alien beeping one is ok too. This thread makes me wanna be better at flash :wail: . I've been using it for a month or two now and I could just about make something to the standard of Cptn Spasm's first one(http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/4...ttleguykj1.swf)

[Killer Carebear]

John, your link doesn't work.

[SWiTCH]

Man, I want the next challenge while I still feel like animating.

[hardcoresk8r69]

Im probably gonna post mine at 11pm on saturday.

[Jamez5000]

I wish I saw this post sooner, I would have loved to join in...

[Kevosk]

...you still can, guy. You can join as long as the first round is still active.

Also Smelly, I usually only use flash to draw pictures and stuff, not really to animate.

[Chris310]

I don't think I'll be able to do this competition. Not really good with humans and also not much time.

[SODA]

I don't think I'll be able to do this competition. Not really good with humans and also not much time.

You had 96 hours :/.

Dropped

[Jamez5000]

So, here is my submission then! (http://img399.imageshack.us/my.php?image=punchob2.swf)
After doing all this, I couldn't be bothered with sound...as it is 4am now. *sigh* bedtime for me! Enjoy..

[Arnyx]

Jamez, That one was .. Hard to understand. Maybe it's just me ...

But Stilll, it was awesome!

[Jamez5000]

basically, my latenight caffeine rush got the best of me. It was supposed to be a guy on one of those coin operating rides (usually in malls) and he kept playing on it all day, so the kid got his brother. PS: The characters are representations of my friends :P (except the kid)

[Captain Spasm]

Maybe you should have put a wirling clock on the wall to show how long he'd been on there and have the kid come in earlier, look annoyed, then stalk off to fetch his big bro. Would have made a bit more sense, maybe.
Good aniation though XD

[Cheesymaroon]

In my defence, adobe imageready is much harder than flash... and I'm lazy.

[NVM]

Keep in mind that this is my 3rd flash animation, ever:
http://www.ngup.net/view.php?file=flashc1

Took me around 2 hours :indiff:

EDIT: hold on redoing some sound.

[SODA]

6 hours to go!

[Soul]

My god jamez if you would put some sound on that it would be one ultimate awesomeness.

By the way SOAD how are we going to judge this?

[SODA]

My god jamez if you would put some sound on that it would be one ultimate awesomeness.

By the way SOAD how are we going to judge this?

It will be judged on quality, basically.

On a scale of 1 to 10 where do the factors of style, use of time, overall look fit and assign each one a value 1-10.

However you determine those things is up to you, i just want to see one number value between 1-10 for each animation. Don't be afraid to use fractions and decimals either because odds are there will be a few that are tied otherwise.

[hardcoresk8r69]

And... here it is.

http://img295.imageshack.us/my.php?image=explosmxt8.swf

Feedback would be amazing

[SODA]

ROUND 1 OVER

There were 10 actual submissions, so 5 of you will move on.

FrantiX - http://img295.imageshack.us/my.php?image=explosmxt8.swf

It was decent, the sound was a bit irritating, and the actual punch was a little lame. The art was pretty good.

Overall: 6

Killer Carebear - http://img530.imageshack.us/my.php?image=punchdn8.swf

Pretty good, the art is a little lame, but the punch was there. The fireworks blook was a bit strange but the final result was good.

Overall: 7

exetra - http://img139.imageshack.us/my.php?image=punchv2zv0.swf

This was an excellent submission, the art while strange seemed to fit and the music was an excellent choice, it seemed like perhaps an aquired taste, but I liked it.

Overall: 9.2

Cheesymaroon - http://img207.imageshack.us/img207/6613/untitled1nu8.gif

Meh, that was a waste of time. The art was junk it looks like it literally took as long as it took, and the only salvaging factor was that the punch involved flames.

Overall: 2

NVM - http://www.ngup.net/view.php?file=7437_shhiit

Short and pretty good, the art was alright, the punch through the head a bit gruesome, and the sound fit.

Overall: 7

Kevosk - http://www.ngup.net/view.php?file=3904_punch

Funny and interesting. However it doesn't match the assignment which was to show a person punching another person.

Overall: 6.5 (for not following directions)

Captain Spasm - http://img210.imageshack.us/my.php?image=alienpunchzo1.swf

Very strange, it was alright, and the sounds were good, but it was an alien punching a robots antennae off. Closer than Kevosk but still not quite what I asked for, I wont take points off though.

Overall: 7.5

I_smell - http://www.ngup.net/view.php?file=6754_punch%20scene

Epic

Overall: 9.5

SWiTCH - http://www.swfupload.com/view/116885.htm

Excellent work, the sound added alot to it and it was well drawn for being so simple. i enjoyed it alot.

Overall: 8.5

Jamez5000 - http://img399.imageshack.us/my.php?image=punchob2.swf

Stranger maybe even than Captain Spasm's however it fullfilled all requirements. It was very well done and the punch was good.

Overall: 8.5

My Picks:

Jamez5000
SWiTCH
I_smell
Captain_Spasm
exetra

I will give SoulInferno until 2am EST to judge otherwise I will procede without him.

[Cheesymaroon]

Damn.

[Kevosk]

You said character, not person.

A cereal box can be a character.

[SODA]

You said character, not person.

A cereal box can be a character.

Animate a main character punching another person.

[Kevosk]

Well maybe the cereal box was a character and his way of punching is impoding himself onto someone's fist :(.

Okay fine.

[Benjaman]

I think Kevosk's was awesome. He was "beating the life out of someone" someone being the cereal box.

[SODA]

Alright, my votes stand, the following will be moving on:

Jamez5000
SWiTCH
I_smell
Captain_Spasm
exetra

YOUR NEXT TASK IS:

http://img488.imageshack.us/img488/9033/breakdanceqv2.gif

ANIMATE A CHARACTER BREAKDANCING OR PERFORMING SOME OTHER TYPE OF ACROBATIC DANCE.

You have until WEDNESDAY at 11:59pm EST to complete your animation. That is 94 Hours.

[NVM]

Fuck. Just barely missed it.

[exetra]

unfinished material bandwagon begins now (http://img142.imageshack.us/my.php?image=electroxt6.swf&width=480)

I hope that's acrobatic enough. Also, 1337th post woot

[SODA]

I wouldn't normally comment before judging, but that made me laugh out loud.

[CrumPoker]

Awesome animations. :D SO cool... I can animate, but cba. :woo:

[exetra]

So I guess it'll do then? 30 seconds more on the way hopefully.

[Soul]

Damn the fact that I was asleep. =/ Oh well the people that are moving on are the ones that I thought were the best to.

I'll try and stay up later next time though I think everyone will turn in their submissions before the deadline so ill be able to judge either way.

[PyroOwned]

I don't even know how to animate. I would have joined if I knew how. exetra, that was fucking awesome. I can't stop replaying it :wail:

EDIT - I also rated it 10/10.

[Derelict]

One thing that's sort of missing from the judging is length. There should be a time limit on how long (or short) the animations are. It'd make judging a lot easier.

[P0K3M0N_MA5T3R]

It'd make making them a lot easier as well, that way it'd make people feel better with how much they'd done and not make them unnecessarily long because they think that otherwise it'll get marked down.

[SODA]

Well, honestly if the animation is longer it shows more time was spent on it A la "good use of time" criterion.

[SWiTCH]

I don't think length is much of an indication of time spent, 'cause it usually just means it's padded with stills and tweens.

[SODA]

I don't think length is much of an indication of time spent, 'cause it usually just means it's padded with stills and tweens.

Which would be obvious. :/

I wouldn't think it would be hard to tell the difference between a well done longer animation and a filler added one.

[exetra]

STILL NOT FINISHED. If for any reason I cannot complete this in time this will be the one you can mark. (http://img137.imageshack.us/my.php?image=electrocj5.swf&width=480)

I'd like to point out that there is NO tweening in the dancing animation at all. 320 frames and 280 of them are keyframes. On one layer. The music is also mine.

[Captain Spasm]

Phoar, time well spent imo.
And the music too?
Well done, its looking great!

[Killer Carebear]

Tween is for the weak! Also, it fucks you up :indiff:. And how do you do that in one layer? Is there a way to make overlapping lines not split each other?

[high6]

Tween is for the weak! Also, it fucks you up :indiff:. And how do you do that in one layer? Is there a way to make overlapping lines not split each other?

Make them objects.

[Killer Carebear]

Ah, thank you very much.

[exetra]

Actually, I didn't make them objects. Leaving them as raw lines allowed me to drag the joints around and stuff.

explanation (http://img75.imageshack.us/img75/8550/electroxplainedou2.png)

I don't know what you mean by lines splitting... They overlap fine =S

[Killer Carebear]

I knew how drag all the attached lines. The thing you do to avoid what I'm talking about is deleting the lines and redrawing them when they are attached to a point. This is what I mean by splitting: It does that in different layers unless I lock them too (http://img260.imageshack.us/img260/3158/untitled1mg0.png)

What version of flash do you have anyways? I remember you saying something once about an older version...

[exetra]

Flash 5. For the win.

[Jamez5000]

I second that.

Edit: Damn it! Flash crashed (due to insufficient HD space on a drive) so I lost a bunch of progress :( (didn't save it because I didn't think it would turn out good, but it did, and it froze until crashed when I went to save)

I might not even post one due to horrible time management. I thought I didn't have a life, but it turns out I did D=

Since I work nights, during the week I have no life except gym, work, computer, sleep, repeat. Yet I still seem to put off animating this damn scene too much, it's a pretty hard challenge if you ask me and I salute those that actually complete it. I'm about halfway now and hopes I can get the courage to finish it :P

I've scrapped the rest of what I had planned for mine. If you could see it like it was in my mind you'd probably reach orgasm immediately. The trouble is that animating it was impossible due to my lack of technical drawing/animation ability. SOAD and Inferno, you guys can mark the last one I posted.

Alright, thats a shame but will do, it is still really good.

I'm gonna have to drop out, theres no way I'm going to get this done for today, again, horrible time management on my behalf. Also its freshers week at uni so I'm out of both energy and brain power right now...

Based on the two submissions recieved I am going to have to say:








EXETRA for the win. Both submissions were really good, but Jamez had less actual dancing. Good show :pop:

[PyroOwned]

I agree, exetra's was much more addictive. This was a small contest though, only 2 rounds? Why don't you make a final submission for the winner out of the two? It will make it more exciting...

[Soul]

That sucks only 2 people submitted entries for this round.

Even though I liked Jamez art more Excetra's is so much cooler.

[exetra]

I kinda wish there was more for me to do =S

[Jamez5000]

Yeah, had I known that this would be the last round I would have put some heart into it...
